When planning a trip, keep in mind that there are
peaks of tourist influx into the island. This
applies to the New Year, Christmas holidays.
3
If you are planning shopping, it is best to do
this without guides. Shop owners pay guides to
bring you to them, and therefore the price of the
thing you purchase will already include the
percentage of guides. So choose the stores you
need and you will pay much less for your
purchases.
4
Beware of pickpockets in minibuses and on
beaches. Do not leave your things unattended.
5
In Seychelles, unlike most countries, it is more
profitable to exchange traveler's checks than
cash. Currency exchange with hands is prohibited
and punishable by law.
6
Tap water is suitable for use, but bottled is
recommended for drinking. Tourists should bring
along stomach ailments, sunscreen, and repellents.
7
No vaccinations are required, as there are no
serious infections in the Seychelles. This means
that you can buy last-minute tours to the
Seychelles and urgently fly to the islands.
Increased protection against solar radiation and
bites of blood-sucking insects is recommended.
Seychelles is the most medically equipped country
in the African region. The central hospital is
located in Victoria, there are clinics in other
areas, as well as in Praslin and La Digue. In
urgent cases, in most hotels a doctor can be
called 24 h.
8
Mains voltage - 220-240 volts, 50 hertz.
Everywhere installed sockets according to the
British standard.
9
To rent a car you will need an international or
national drivers license. The driver must be at
least 22 years old and have a driving experience
of at least three years. In addition, many
bicycle rental offices are open on the islands -
perhaps the most convenient means of
transportation in island conditions. True, the
very two-wheeled friends are often simply not
enough for everyone. The maximum speed in the
city is 45 km / h, outside the settlements - 65
km / h, and only on the highway leading to the
airport, it is allowed to accelerate to an insane
80 km / h. There are only six gas stations on the
entire Mahe island, and on Praslin there are
exactly three times less.
10
It is customary for taxi drivers to pay by the
meter, but if a taxi is rented for a long trip,
it is appropriate to agree on the amount in
advance or round up the bill.
